UH Productions New Cooking Show

Hey everyone happy spring break!

Today I wanted to share UH Production's new cooking show! It's cooking made easy for those who simply do not have time or are living in a small space (such as the dorms), while keeping it healthy at the same time. It's my first cooking show ever so I hope you all do not mind:D

Have a wonderful break!

Back to Hilo for the Weekend

So I was in Hilo for the past few days because it was my grandma's funeral. Unfortunately she passed on due to a massive stroke and cancer. Cancer is such an unfortunate disease and is now so common. I pray for those whose loved ones are suffering or was lost from this evil disease. On the brighter side I was able to see my parents and other family members that I have not seen for years!! Although it was short I enjoyed my stay. But I'll be flying back to Hilo for spring break. (my mom wasnt too sad to see me off this time around ;P )

Here is a few pics from this past week!

Memorial table for my grandma. She loved purple and I do too!

These are Sweet Potato Chips that I made. There's this contraption that I bought in Japan and what you do is you cut any vegetable you want to turn into chips and put it in the rack and microwave it. Simple as that. No added oils or salts. Super healthy and you get that crunch. But of course you can add the salt or toppings if you wanted to. But since sweet potatoes have so much flavor on its own, why add anything else?

I hope you have fantastic week!

Bad Weather and 60's Film shoot

Hey everyone I hope you all kept warm and dry this past week! The weather was terrible with all the thunderstorms and high winds. Walking to class was not fun because my umbrella did nothing because the wind picked up the rain from underneath soaking everything! :P But despite the weather our lives must go on and I had to conquer 3 midterms this week! D: I hope everyone's midterms has gone well.

Yesterday I had a great opportunity to help out one of UH Manoa's ACM (advanced creative media) film project. I love acting on the side as one of my hobbies and was able to play a role of a 16 yr old 60's girl. Basically she's having a great time on her bike and dreams that she is flying! Here are some pictures from the shoot!







It took all day to shoot but we were all satisfied with the outcome and thanked the weather for holding up. Let's just say I had a good nights' rest last night! Anyways I hope everyone is doing well!

Pampered!

Hey guys so this week has been a pretty stressful week...BUT luckily this Friday I got to pamper and treat myself by getting a manicure! So this is my first time getting Cal Gel nails. What's awesome about these is that this gel overlay is on your natural nail and it is actually healthy for your nails. If you have brittle and breakable nails like me, I suggest you try this out. There are so many options and styles to choose from and it is virtually indestructible. It will not chip, break, or fall off. Even when your nail grows out, it will not come off until you get them removed or filed down. Here is a picture of my nails (gold) and my friend's nails (black).

I absolutely am in love with the turnout of these nails and if you are like me and very careless with your hands, this is something worth investing in! I hope everyone had a great week! God Bless
